The fatigue tests on 15CrMo steel specimen were carried out and the metal magnetic memory (MMM) signals were detected. The experiment shows that the magnetic signals of specimen contain the information of stress distribution in the material inside. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the magnetic signals increase initial while then decrease slightly with the stress increase from 0kN to 200kN. Though analysis the MMM signals induced by different tensile stress within the plastic region of the specimen, a simple model was derived. The experimental results are consistent with the calculated results based on the Jiles-Atherton model.

In the geomagnetic field, stress can induce spontaneous magnetic signals in ferromagnetic materials, the method, named metal magnetic memory testing, can be potentially applied in estimating the fatigue life. In this paper, the normal component of magnetic field, Hp (y), was measured during dynamic tension test on the surfaces of ferromagnetic specimens with stress concentration factor of 5. The results indicated that the gradient of magnetic field intensity, K, was the key parameter to characterize crack initiation life. Then the numerical fitting of K and fatigue cycles were done under three level loads, 568.7MPa, 698.8MPa and 864.4MPa, meanwhile, a simple model was derived.

Metal magnetic memory(MMM) testing has been used in the residual life prediction of remanufacturing cores. The MMM testing is one of the most promising nondestructive testing methods for achieving early diagnosis on micro defects of remanufacturing cores. This method can not only detect the traditional macro-cracks, but also identify the micro-damage caused by stress concentration. The principle of MMM testing works in the conditions that without requiring of the external exciting magnetic field, the magnetic field distribution of the inspection surface is scanned and measured by means of magnetic mutation signals to find the possible existence of stress concentration and location of micro-cracks. This paper presents a state-of-art survey about MMM testing mechanism and application of MMM method in Russia, Britain, China and the other countries. It includes the applications of this method in power station turbine blade damage detection by Russia scholars, evaluating the gear creep damage by Polish scholars and detecting the stress concentration districts of the train wheels damaged parts by Chinese scholars. The paper also reports that Chinese scholars developed methods of using MMM testing to characterize initiating and growing of fatigue cracks, and applied this method for prediction of residual life of remanufacturing cores. Based on the comprehensive survey, this paper points out further trends of the research work in the area. The paper also points out that microscopic physical mechanism of the MMM phenomenon and application of MMM testing in defining the manufacturability of remanufacturing cores should be further studied.

In this research, the correlation between the stress concentration degree and the residual magnetic field (RMF) of ferromagnetic steels is investigated. Tensile tests were carried out to measure the RMF signals on the surface of steel specimens with different stress concentration degrees. The effectivity of the metal magnetic memory (MMM) technique in defective specimens was investigated in comparison with a non-defective specimen. Analysis of the qualitative relationship between the stress concentration degree and the RMF components was subsequently performed on two types of defective specimens. The qualitative correlation between the planar distributions of the RMF components and the stress concentration degree was further studied. It was validated that both the RMF signal and its planar distribution are effective in characterizing the stress concentration degree. The results obtained in this research will be a complement to the MMM technique.

The metal magnetic memory (MMM) technology, a new nondestructive evaluation (NDE) method, is an effective means for early damage prediction. However, there is so much work to do, such as the relationship between the magnetic field density and stress state. This paper aims at finding out MMM signal characteristics of critical damage stress state by tension experiments. Comparisons between MMM testing and traditional NDE method are presented. The principle of MMM testing is investigated. Different materials, low carbon steal X70 and medium carbon Q235B, are detected on-line and off-line respectively. It is found that MMM signal rules are gradually increasing up to fluctuating on the verge of yield and sharp changing of magnetic polarity on the verge of fracture. With the increase in material strength, magnetic field density of low carbon steel X70 is lower than that of medium carbon steel Q235B. This offers fundamental study for the quantitative MMM testing of critical damage stress state.

The magnetic field of ferromagnetic components under service load and geomagnetic field increases is induced by the residual magnetic induction and spontaneous magnetization. The stress concentration positions can be determination by detecting the magnetic field and the fracture can be avoided. The magnetic intensities of the demagnetized samples are tested by metal magnetic memory test method. By tensile test, the relationship between the magnetic memory signals and tensile load is studied, and the metal magnetic memory characteristics of the demagnetized samples under condition that the load keeps a fixed value are obtained. The test result indicates that the magnetic intensities of the samples change greatly after demagnetized; the change of the magnetic intensity of each test point are much different with different tensile displacement; in the later period of hardening phase and necking phase, the magnetic intensity about the side of the stress concentration positions increases along with the increasing of tensile displacement, however that of the other side decreases, that is the gradient of Fracture position increases obviously. Basing on this result by testing the parts of components emphatically where the fatigue failure and breakdown appear easily, the abrupt accident can be avoided.

An engine lubrication system is one of the main factors which influence engine life span, and it can be easily determined based on the viscosity of the engine oil. The current and common technology for monitoring and the determination of the engine oil viscosity using the oil analysis method is found to be uneconomical and ineffective. On the same vein, this paper presents an investigation of the capability of the Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) technology in the processes of monitoring and detecting the variation of petrol engine lubricant viscosity via in-situ operation. A few investigations were conducted on a Robin Engine 126 cc EX 13D single cylinder of four strokes with water cooling. One multi-grade engine lubricant oil condition has been put to the test; namely, SAE 15W-40. During the investigation of the petrol engine oil viscosity, the magnetic field signal is captured when the engine oil in-service age is 0 km (fresh oil), 250 km, 500 km, 750 km and 1,000 km, with the crankshaft rotational speed of 2500 rpm at three different locations such as at the Bottom Dead Centre (BDC), oil sump A (engine oil inlet), and oil sump B. The lubrication condition in the petrol engine is successfully monitored based on the magnetic field signatures generated by the interaction between the piston surface and the layer of the lubricant during the time when the engine was in operation. The generated MMM signatures were captured using a type 2 scanning device with two ferroprobe sensors and a length measuring sensor and recorded by the TSC-3M-12 type device. The waveform signatures captured were displayed as length domain signal and then were analysed using the MATLAB software to determine the magnetic field energy (EH). In addition, the real viscosity value at room temperature was determined using the Haake Viscotester 6 L, each time after the magnetic field signal was captured. The results of these studies have shown that the magnetic field energy (EH) is inversely proportional to engine oil viscosity. Finally, the MMM technology can be utilised in promoting economic development and effective planning of the maintenance schedule of the petrol engine oil.

In order to clear the timeliness issues of metal magnetic memory signal value after unloading, we conduct some static tension experiments on some specimens in materials of KMN, which is commonly used in centrifugal compressors? Furthermore, we analyze the specimen, which is prefabricated artificial defects, on the surface normal magnetic field strength decay law with EMS-2003, the intelligent magnetic memory tester. The results show that: the surface magnetic field signal value is reduced by time after unloading, in other words it has certain timeliness.
